Who is Anakin's Father?

[DemonKing]

Just remember that just because Shmi doesn't remember the conception that it didn't happen. There are drugs, post traumatic stress (for example, after a rape), artificial insemination under anathesia and even possibly dark jedi mind tricks to consider. We don't know where Shmi came from before she became Wato's slave, after all.

 

Imagine if, for instance, Dooku was Anakin's father? What a magnificent setup: Yoda trains Dooku, Dooku trains Qui Gon, who trains Obi Wan, who trains Anakin (Dooku's son). Anakin's son Luke is then trained by Yoda. It all goes full circle. Wheels within wheels.

 

Dooku to Anakin in Episode III: "I am your father".

 

If that doesn't send Anakin over the edge, nothing will - and unlike Luke, he is unable to contain his rage and kills his father, sending him to the Darkside and into Sideous' grasp.

Hey you got one hell of an imagination!

But hey isn't that why we watch Star Wars (or is it the lack there of - please someone tell me;) )

Dooku?! That would make it one of those big circle of life things, wouldn't it?

 

Actually, no... the circle of life would be complete if Yoda was Anikan's father, because Yoda trained Dooku who trained Qui-Gon, who trained Obi-Wan who trained Anikan.

 

Now there's a scary thought. I always thought Anikan's ears were too pointy...

 

But no, officially, Anikan was an immaculate conception. From that I think we're meant to believe that either his father is God, or his mother was a single celled organism that reproduced through replication.

 

Scary thought either way.
